Another solid fuel boiler option

I spotted this boiler at the Biomass Expo in Vermont this week.
Will be arriving soon, with listing approvals. Chips take a lot of the hassle out of burning. Pellets can come "unglued" after a lot of travel and handling. With a chip burner you could produce the fuel easily or have tree companies drop off a load.

This is the first quality, small size chip boiler I have seen. Marc Caluwe at Windhagerusa can get you some info

    Always amazed me how much shock their brains can take when doing that and they can still survive.

    Actually a,red headed wood pecker's brain takes a g force of 100 while pecking. I believe it was in Guinness book.

    Don't know if that is a pilated wood pecker or not. Here I saw one is a tree and there were so many chips falling to the ground you would have thought there was someone with a chain saw up there.
